Some people are calling for impeachment over this issue. Lyman, as are most of us, are unhappy with the president over the border issue, but he completely supports him in the War on Terror. Impeachment is not the solution --- we have to change the president's mind on this issue.
: Two women reporters from the Orange Country Register have made the trip and will head back home after Crawford. Lyman says they are friendly and are doing fair reporting.
I'm answering you all in today's thread, which Doug started.
Antisocial, I'm sorry you were disappointed with turnout in Abilene; it may have to do with publicity.
Stopem, I do not know who on the Caravan is taking photos but there will probably be plenty of them eventually. If I were not so sick today, I would look through Yahoo photos and put some up for you.
Trooprally, I do not know what the program will be in D.C. either. So, I suggest for everyone to check the MMP website for their updates. I sure hope they have permits for everything they plan to do!
Lyman phoned me awhile ago from Crawford and I could hear the speakers and the crowd in the background. The crowd was cheering, applauding, whistling, very enthusiastic about all the speakers, one of whom was Glenn Spencer from American Patrol. He was a very good speaker: short and sweet. LOL. His organization, along with Terry Anderson (L.A. radio host), has been actively fighting the illegal invasion since 1992. Glenn says he "gains more confidence every day." As well, since they are near the ranch, he exhorted the President to "get up and do your job."
Another speaker was Jack______, who founded Americans for Zero Immigration in 2003. And a lady named Lupe ______ spoke for a while, sometimes emotionally, about her life as an American who happens to be Hispanic and stands up for secure borders. She gave honor to Barbara Coe, who she calls the "Minuteman Mama." Barbara was "one of the first to sound the warning." Three cheers for Barbara Coe!
Lupe's hometown in Texas has been attacked and trashed by illegals brandishing Mexican flags, on 3/25/06 and 5/3/06, and their local officials and law enforcement would do nothing. This brought her to tears. I know how she feels, as they did the same to my Los Angeles childhood neighborhood and park this past Wednesday.
I was not able to stay on the phone for the entire rally, so I apologize to everyone. But I will talk to Lyman again tonight.
